CHANNEL ACQUISITION USING ORTHOGONAL TIME FREQUENCY SPACE MODULATED PILOT SIGNAL |
(57) A wireless communication method for recovering information bits from a received signal,
implemented by a wireless communication receiver, comprising: receiving, over a communication
channel, a wireless signal comprising a data signal portion and a pilot signal portion
wherein the pilot signal portion includes multiple pilot signals multiplexed together
in an orthogonal time frequency space, OTFS, domain; transforming the wireless signal
into a delay-Doppler domain signal by applying a two-dimensional symplectic Fourier
transform; applying a delay-Doppler domain mask to separate out a contribution of
each of the multiple pilot signals to time-frequency domain signal into corresponding
separate received pilot signal contributions; estimating, using the separate received
pilot signal contributions, the communication channel estimates at delay-Doppler domain
positions of the multiple pilot signals; and interpolating the communication channel
estimates to obtain an entire communication channel estimate.
